Test Close Function of PowerPoint.

In previous versions of saveppt2, 'leave_open' would be closed without saving or warning. PowerPoint should recognize that there is already a presentation open and not close it.

try % For some unknown reason, this doesn't always work when called from publish.
    ppt=saveppt2('leave_open.ppt','f',0,'title','Open Presentation','visible','close',false);
    saveppt2('close.ppt','fig',a)
    saveppt2('leave_open.ppt','ppt',ppt,'close',true);
    delete('leave_open.ppt','close.ppt');
catch
end

        for i=1:n
            saveppt2('ppt',ppt,'title',sprintf('Batch. Plot #%d/%d. Time: %fs',i,n,toc));
        end
